Our new meta-analysis is out!

Do you like seafood? Then this article is for you.
Seafood is one of the main sources of #PFAS for humans. We found that cooking can reduce PFAS.
PFAS are a large group of man-made chemicals used in Teflon, food packaging & fire-fighting foams.

Australian tree rings and what they can tell us about climate history.

You think tree rings are boring. Listen in and think again!

[Boiling Point @BoilingPointFM]

The secrets of Australian tree rings

Most trees have rings. But in Australia they have a very different meaning to those in the northern hemisphere. They don't tell us about the trees' precise age, but a whole lot about climate history.
